Nunavut's only humane society to be demolished
Canada’s northernmost humane society is set to be demolished next year, and the organization is rushing to raise $1 million in hopes of building a new facility to serve all of Nunavut.
The Iqaluit Humane Society has been around for 13 years and re-homes up to 700 pets every year, often to other parts of Canada. The facility is currently home to 23 dogs in a space the size of a bachelor apartment, but that’s set to change.
The City of Iqaluit owns the property and recently notified the humane society that the aging building, which has a mold problem, needs to be torn down because it is condemned. Humane society president Janelle Kennedy said the tear-down is expected in the spring or summer of 2021, and there won’t be space for them in the new facility.
